heaver surf reel

[fishfinder401]

i was going to be building an 8ft 60-80lb rod to heave out full menhaden for stripers,

any sugestions on a good inexpensive reel, i was looking at either a squidder 140 or

maybe an 3/0 senator, needs to have a clamps as the rod will have no reel seat any

opinions are appreciated, and btw, i know the senators aren't made to be a surf reel,

but i am hoping for around 300yds or 30 line

thanks, good luck fishing
